The Personal Finance Portfolio: Arguably the most important lesson economics educators can teach is the skill to budget personal resources appropriately. There is no better way to this than through the research and building of an intensive portfolio of all of life’s many costs. Through a classroom simulation of life itself, students can learn the intricacies of paying rent, student loans, insurance, transportation, even groceries. This webinar will explain a step by step process and share resources for implementing such a project in your classroom.
